See rebellion at grass roots
Shared via AddThis Apparently the rowdy town hall meetings are happening all over the country, not just in NY as mentioned in my previous post. Click on the link for details. I am amazed at the disconnect between these lawmakers and their constituents. They can't seem to believe how truly angry people are about cap and trade, the stimulus, and health care. They want to blame it on the Republican Party for stirring things up. But what really stands out to me is Brian Smoot's (former head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) comment that it is a risk for Republicans to "align themselves with such a small minority in the party. They risk alienating moderates." So should we tell the Dems that the Tea Party numbers are growing daily and that they include democrats, independents, libertarians, and people from all races and walks of life? Or should we just keep it a secret and let them discover it for themselves come election time?
